The character conversion apparatus includes a display apparatus, an inputting apparatus, a CPU, first to fourth acceleration sensors provided discretely on an upper side, a lower side, a left side and a right side of the body of the portable information apparatus, and a character database ROM. The acceleration sensors measure accelerations of the portable information apparatus when it is turned to be tilted longitudinally or laterally and measure directions of such turning movements of the portable information apparatus. Necessary functions regarding character inputting and character conversion are allocated individually to different results of the detection of the acceleration sensors, and the character conversion apparatus executes character inputting or conversion in response to one of the turning movements which is applied to the portable information apparatus.
